Client's Reviews


Located in a somewhat obscure location in Zamalek (I did not visit the hotel location).
Wonderful proprietor.
Items for sale from North Africa, not China. Goods appeared well made and were visually pleasing.
Plagiarized from floramalone's 2012 review (still completely valid in my opinion):
Upstairs in a dusty 19th century building you have to ring a bell and then go in to the charming, old-fashioned shop. Full of really lovely things from ... scarves to jewelry to beautiful rugs. If you want a taste of authentic Egyptian crafts, without the hard sell, this is an Aladdin's cave. Great for presents.




Didn't see anything made in China-----and all items were well made and aesthetically pleasing.
Had bought some similar scarfs (not as fine quality) in a bazarr and a Bedouin rug in a carpet shop for the same pricex---but it took ten minutes of haggling, walking away, etc.
And----Nomad takes credit cards!

There are branches in the Marriott and Hilton hotels too but the apartment has a bigger range and is in a lovely location on the Nile. Staff are very friendly too.
Wonderful shop for authentic Egyptian artisan work and handcrafts! The owner is a lovely man who knows all about the traditional textiles and handwork of Egypt and is happy to share his knowledge. I am a lover and collector of authentic handcrafts and textiles and I happily spent several hours in his store and came home with amazing gifts for all my family! If you want to take a piece of Egypt home with you, this is where you should go!!
The store has a variety of different types of textiles, including silk, various types of cotton, and blended fabrics. It also sells embroidery and quilting, as well as beadwork. There is a lovely selection of silver jewelry in both traditional and modern styles. Guys will be happy to know that there are men's t-shirts in the back. In addition to the textiles, there are also various types of pottery, traditional clothing items from Egyptian nomadic tribes and lots of other unique and beautiful gifts tucked into the store's nooks and crannies. We went to several shops in Cairo, but if I were to come back I would skip everywhere else and just visit Nomad - it is truly that good!!
I have repeated this review on Google as well, because Nomad deserves all of the business my reviews can possible generate! It is truly a unique and amazing place!!
